feat(consume): the withheld set is counts plus names, not one entry per concept

Measured 2026-09-20 on a 2313-concept bundle of one project's own
documentation: `withheld` held 2 305 entries = 186 440 B of compact JSON =
**65.5 % of the 284 850-byte payload**, and not one of those bytes counted
against the budget the same payload reports (`spent` was 45 192). A reader was
handed 239 658 bytes the budget line did not know about, to learn 2 305 concept
ids with nothing beside them -- the title being exactly what `--withheld-titles`
existed to buy, and which was off because buying it for 2 305 entries cost
another 37.9 %.

`withheld` is now a mapping: `total` (equal to `denominators.withheld`, so
SS 5.2's identity is unmoved and closes on the NUMBERS), `by_rule` (the same
total decomposed over the closed rule set, so "what kind of drop" is answerable
without the list), `nearest` (the best-ranked drops BY NAME, with title and
source document, so a reader who sees a near miss can ask for it) and
`complete`. The near misses are read off the ranking, not off `cut`'s output:
`cut` sorts by id so the partition is comparable, and that order says nothing
about which concept a reader might want next.

Same question, same bundle, after: **52 421 bytes, 18.4 % of the old file**.
The whole list stays reachable behind `--withheld-full`, and the two
instruments that classify EVERY miss by its rule -- the retrieval gate and
`okf_consume_measure` -- now ask for it explicitly and assert `complete`
rather than assuming it. `--withheld-nearest N` sets the cap (default 20,
which is `k` plus the next twelve). `--withheld-titles` is retired: a flag
whose only remaining effect would be to STRIP the title from a list the caller
asked for in full names no decision worth two shapes for one list.

`CONTRACT_REVISION` moves to `okf-consumption/2`, because a consumer indexing
the old key as a list would otherwise break silently. Three checker rules move
with it, and one of them is the interesting case: `parent_unfollowable` used
`excerpts` + `withheld` as the bundle's own denominator, which a truncated
block is not -- so that clause now runs only where the payload SAYS it is
complete, stated in SS 8.6 rather than left as a silence, with the other two
clauses (shape, self-reference) running either way. `Report` carries both
denominators, because a report claiming it examined 2 305 entries it never saw
is the same defect one level up.

The generated skill's "breaking point" section goes with it: it extrapolated a
concept count from the cost of ONE withheld entry, and there is no such slope
any more. It now states what this bundle's bookkeeping cost and that the block
is bounded by the cap rather than by the bundle -- an extrapolation from a
slope the code no longer has would be a measurement of the previous revision.

"""The section that used to extrapolate a breaking point now states cost.
The figure is EXTRAPOLATED from what one `withheld` entry costs, so a
generation run that withheld nothing has no slope to extrapolate from:
`per_withheld` was `0.0`, the guard returned the literal `0`, and the
document told its reader the bundle's bookkeeping fills a 120000-byte
budget at zero concepts -- before the bundle holds anything at all.
`0 concepts` was a division that never happened, printed as a number: the
figure was extrapolated from what ONE `withheld` entry cost, and a run
that withheld nothing had no slope. Since `okf-consumption/2` there is no
slope at all -- the block is counts plus a capped sample -- so the section
states what this bundle's bookkeeping cost and no extrapolated count, and
a generator that printed one would be describing the previous revision.
Driven from both sides so a generator that simply stopped stating the
figure would fail: the bundle that withholds nothing must say it could not
measure it, and a bundle that withholds something must still print a
positive count.
Driven from both sides: the numbers must be the payload's own, and the
retired figure must not come back.
